Escorted by elder Jim Van Eaton, and her son, Bailey Chilliak takes a walk down the red carpet in her wedding dress during Friday afternoon’s wedding showcase at Parkland Integrated Health Centre. The event was part of Special Care Home Week.

The elders from Parkland Integrat-ed Health Centre’s (PIHC) Special Care Home are used to having full social and recreational calendars. But last week, their calendars were especially full for a very special pur-pose: the celebration of Special Care Home Week, which ran from Sept. 23 to 29.

As recreation coordinator Trina Chamberlain explains, Special Care

Home Week is an annual opportu-nity to bring communities together to celebrate the staff, volunteers, and, above all else, the elders of local long-term care facilities.

“The goal of Special Care Home Week is to shine light on the lives of the people who live, work and visit our home,” she said.

“It gives us an opportunity to come together in a social gathering to en-

joy the company and friendship of each other. The celebrations are proof that, no matter what age a per-son is, there is still so much to enjoy.”

At PIHC’s Special Care Home, the week-long observance of Special Care Home Week has typically provided an opportunity to put the spotlight on the recreational opportunities that enrich the lives of the elders, in particular the arts.

It comes as no surprise, then, that this year was no different for PIHC’s elders, who celebrated the week by inviting the community into their home for an art-based opportunity

That said, a lot of work went into the planning of events, and Special Care Home Week offered a little bit of everything for everyone, regard-less of their age.

PIHC hosts special celebration of special care homeContinued from 1

“Special thanks to our residents, volunteers, staff and family for get-ting involved prepar-ing, delivering or par-ticipating in the various events,” Chamberlain said, calling the week “fantastic,” and noting that each of the events was well attended.

“The week’s celebra-tions were successful all because of the team effort. And seeing the smiles on people’s faces and the interactions is what it’s all about.”

Kicking the Special Care Home Week festivi-ties off on Wednesday, Sept. 26, Stompin’ Tom (Elmer Lammedee) per-formed for the elders, staff, and visitors, and the dance floor was open to all who attended.

Thursday, meanwhile, the great hall was filled to capacity as PIHC’s director of care and a handful of volunteers donned their chef hats

and flipped pancakes for a free come and go pan-cake brunch. And later that afternoon, volun-teer art instructor Joan Sommerfeld led the spe-cial care home’s elder artists, and a guest, in a fall-themed abstract paint party.

Then, capping things off on an especially cel-ebratory note, elders, staff, and visitors got to relive the bliss of mat-rimony with an exqui-sitely detailed wedding showcase on Friday af-ternoon.

Chamberlain says the showcase was the idea of resident Mae Atkin-son, whose wedding dress (along with her mother’s), was among the beautiful gowns put on display.

“Showcasing that there is much to look forward to in the later stage of life is so important. Just be-cause a person is in their elderhood, it doesn’t mean life stops when

you move into a Special Care Home,” Chamber-lain said of the week’s events.

“In fact for many of our elders find their lives become richer by having the opportunity to be so-cially involved, which of course enhances their health and wellbeing.”

Chamberlain adds that it “warmed her heart” to see how well-attended the events were, and that the caring community, whether it be staff, resi-dents, volunteers, fam-ily, community groups, students, or others, truly make PIHC’s Special Care Home a special, more home-like place.

But, lest she look like she’s alone tooting her own facility’s home, Chamberlain asked her residents to brainstorm about what makes their Special Care Home spe-cial. The following is the recipe that they came up with:

• Great amounts of

helpful and caring staff and volunteers

• A nice variety of food and special meals

• A spoonful of natural and holistic medicine

• Daily doses of planned and spontane-ous social and recre-ational opportunities

• A dash of friendship• Mix in gently with a

good amount of safety, warmth, respect, hu-mour, kindness, and joy.

This very important recipe was printed onto a bookmark, which was presented to staff, volun-teers, family members, and community mem-bers, as a show of appre-ciation for all that they do to make the home

special.As always, Chamber-

lain invites anyone who would like to make a dif-ference in the lives of oth-ers to contact recreation therapy at 306.747.6841 or 306.747.6833.

“You will find volun-teering will make a dif-ference in your life too,” Chamberlain says.

Elders Mae Atkinson and Margaret Smiley enjoy cake and conversation, dur-ing Friday afternoon’s wedding Showcase.

Elmer Lammedee sings his heart out.

A 37-year-old man from Lloy-dminster is in police custody, af-ter leading RCMP officers from Blaine Lake, the Battlefords, and other detachments on one heck of a merry chase Monday morning.

The chase began around 8:40 a.m. Monday, when an officer with the Blaine Lake RCMP detachment stopped a vehicle along Highway 40, 10 miles west of Richard, Sask. During the stop, the driver reportedly f led in the vehicle, before turning around and attempting to run the officer down.

The officer was struck, suffer-ing serious, but non-life threat-ening physical injuries, and was transported to hospital North Battleford, before being released later in the day.

Following this inciting incident, the driver f led the scene, heading west on Highway 40 towards North Battleford, and the RCMP released a call to the public to be on the lookout for a white 2018 Ford F50 with Alberta license plates.

Around 10:25 Monday morning, the vehicle was spotted again by officers with the Battl-efords RCMP, this time traveling at a high rate of speed on a grid road

north of Speers, Sask.According to RCMP, patrol

vehicles were set up at multiple locations, and tire def lation de-vices were deployed in an at-tempt to disable the vehicle, and limit it to the grid roads in the area northwest of Speers, and west of Whitkow, Sask.

Driving erratically, the driver of the vehicle was able to avoid the tire def lation devices, and struck and damaged multiple police vehicles while avoiding arrest.

Following a third attempt to immobilize the vehicle, which resulted in the def lation of one tire, officers were forced to call off the pursuit due to a feared risk to the public, when the driv-

er reached Highway 4 and head-ed north towards Cochin, Sask.

With police in the area advised to be on the lookout, the suspect was finally apprehended after pulling into a gas station in Co-chin, where he f led his damaged truck and attempted to steal an-other vehicle.

According to the RCMP, the truck the suspect was driving was linked to a theft from Lloy-dminster, Alta. Sunday after-noon.

The investigation into the theft, and the highway chase, remains ongoing.

Residents of Rural Municipalities across the province will be heading to the polls in late October, as the terms of councillors in even-numbered divi-sions come to an end.

With the exception of the Rural Municipali-ties of Shellbrook and Leask, which are both offering mail-in vot-ing, as well as advanced polls, election night in all Rural Municipalities in the Chronicle’s cov-erage area is slated for Wednesday. Oct. 24.

The results of the elections will be made public the morning of Oct. 25.

Without further ado, here’s the latest on who’s been acclaimed to council, and who will be running in elections.

Beginning in the R.M.

of Shellbrook, Jay Fer-ster has been acclaimed as the councillor for Di-vision 4, replacing Lyle Muller, and Ron Herzog has been acclaimed for Division 6, taking the seat formerly occupied by Andy Larsen.

That means the only election will be in Divi-sion 2, with incumbent Earl Stewart facing a challenge from Phil Hamel.

Mail-in voting for the R.M. of Shellbrook be-gan on Monday, Oct. 1 and runs until Friday, Oct. 19. Ballots can be picked up at the Mu-nicipal Office in Shell-brook.

Meanwhile, advanced polls will be held at the Shellbrook Senior Citi-zen’s Centre from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 20, and polls will be open at the

Senior’s Centre from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 24.

In the R.M. of Leask, long-time councillors Real Diehl (Division 2) and Edward Musich (Division 4), were both acclaimed for another term. That leaves for-mer councillor Victor Unyi’s vacant Division 6 seat as the only one fac-ing an election.

This contest saw an impressive turnout, with William Dyck, Clarke Gossen, Marcie Kreese, and Gordon Mayer all vying for the seat.

Mail-in voting for the R.M. of Leask runs until Monday, Oct. 22. Ballots can be picked up at the R.M. Office in Leask.

Meanwhile, advanced polls will be held at the

R.M. Office from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 20, and polls will be open at the Leask Legion Hall from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 24.

Continuing south to the R.M. of Blaine Lake, John Serhienko was acclaimed for another term as councillor for Division 2.

Meanwhile, the Divi-sion 4 seat, formerly occupied by Jerry Stre-lioff, will be contested by Alan Lavoie and Wayne Reiter, and the election for Division 6 will see incumbent Glenn Lamontagne face a challenge from Robert Dagenais.

R.M. of Blaine Lake voters can cast their ballots at the Blaine Lake Senior’s Centre from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 24.

North of Shellbrook, Leonard Smith was ac-claimed as the coun-cillor for Division 6 in the R.M. of Canwood, and will replace former councillor Ivan Beaulac.

Elsewhere, the Divi-sion 2 seat will be con-tested by incumbent Dennis Benke and chal-lenger Clifford Millar, and former Division 4 councillor Gaetan Cou-ture’s seat will be con-tested by Raymond Du-ret and Louise Grimard.

Voting for these two elections will be held at the R.M Office in Can-wood from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 24.

Rounding out the elections for the region, ratepayers in the R.M. of Big River won’t be

heading to the polls this year, as Ron Miller and Richard Crashley were acclaimed as the coun-cillors for Division 2 and Division 4, respec-tively.

In other municipal polling, Barbara Woy-tiuk was elected by ac-clamation to a coun-cil seat in the town of Blaine Lake.

Meanwhile JoAnne Lapierre, Rodney La-vallee, Edward Musich, and Christy Verbonac were nominees in a council election for the village of Leask.

Voters in Leask went to the polls on Oct. 3. However, results of the election weren’t avail-able prior to publication of this week’s Chronicle.

OPINIONOPINION“#NowMoreThanEver”

Oct 1-7 is National Newspaper Week in Canada. It is a time to reflect on the importance of newspapers in our daily lives. It is a medium that gives us the latest news and information, opinion, and entertainment, and it gives it to us in a manner that allows us to absorb it at our own pace.

Looking back, it was Gutenberg who invented the first print-ing press with movable type, an invention that resulted in the

rapid and wide expansion of knowledge and understanding of the world around everyone. For several hundred years, newspapers were the only way for in-formation to be widely distributed.

Today, newspapers, and print jour-nalism in total have come under the gun from many other forms of media, be it television, radio, or the internet. Some are more convenient, require less effort to digest, or are more readily ac-cessed.

However, through all the challenges, newspapers are still the best bet for re-ceiving the story right.

This from the website of National Newspaper Week: “Newspapers stitch

our communities together – questioning what needs ques-tioning, narrating Canada’s history, and serving as the voice of our democracy. Eight in ten Canadians read a newspaper every week – either in print or online, including 85% of mil-lennials. And still, newspapers are in a battle for survival.”

As different forms of media – and particularly online me-dia – develop and expand, the advertising dollars are be-ing shifted away from newspapers and more toward other sources, particularly relative newcomers such as Facebook and Google. All this despite the fact that print ads or ads in online newspapers are still considered the most trusted of all ad formats.

The corporations can’t be blamed entirely for the switch. Readership of daily newspapers has been declining, and as the numbers decline, advertisers are required by economics to switch their advertising dollars.

The danger for society, though, is that as newspapers be-come less profitable, mergers and acquisitions take place, and in the process, newspapers are amalgamated or fold com-pletely, leaving whole communities without a newspaper.

A survey has determined that 63% of Canadians can’t tell the difference between real news and fake news, and 65% are worried that false information is being used as a weapon.

True, the biggest concern we know of comes from the U.S. election of 2016, which was dogged by serious allegations of involvement by Russian authorities seeking to influence the election through spreading false information.

But the way to battle fake news and false information is to support newspapers, so they can retain the journalists and production workers needed to guarantee truth in journalism. Weakening our newspapers weakens all of society. It is vitally important to keep this sector of our society strong, vibrant and dependable. Now, more than ever.

***My connection with newspapers goes back many years. I

started a newspaper when I was about seven or eight. I had to be eight, because I’m not sure what my vocabulary would have been like at age seven. I wrote stories about the neigh-borhood pets, but I think I had about three copies for each of two issues before it folded. Back in those days, there were no photocopiers or other copying device available to me, so each issue was painstakingly printed by hand.

Looking back, I have some sympathy for the pre-Gutenberg monks whose task it was to copy out whole editions of the Bible.

DAVE HYNDMAN

~Columnist

It’s interesting to think that, if someone was look-ing for information just 20 short years ago, their best bet for finding that information would have been a physical source.

In this way, the quest for knowledge required one to be actively engaged. And, because constantly flip-ping back and forth through the pages of a book or newspaper in search of a crucial sentence or fact could become excruciatingly tedious, one had to make a genuine effort to learn.

That’s all changed today, as the proliferation of the internet has allowed almost every tidbit of in-formation in existence to be compiled into one con-venient database that can be accessed from almost anywhere, at any time. All one needs to do is type a string of words into Google, and they’re likely to find the information they’re seeking (as well as a lot of stuff they probably weren’t interested in).

In an ideal world, this democratization of access to informa-tion would have created an enlightened global population, ca-pable of understanding the complex nuances of nearly every idea or issue and engaging in civilized discourse with those with whom they’d typically disagree.

But, as is often the case with new technologies, it takes some time for people to understand the ethical implications of their usage. And so, rather than a highly educated and informed pub-lic, we have billions of people who are more interested in watch-ing cute cat videos, than they are in learning something new, or engaging in meaningful discussions.

What’s more, the unregulated nature of the internet means that anyone can upload anything and present it as fact.

The end result is that, instead of engaging with people with differing philosophies, we’ve become more deeply entrenched in our camps of thought. Only now, we have hundreds of web-sites that “prove” that our opponents are mistaken, and that our long-held beliefs have always been correct.

This tribalization of thought, among other things, has paved the way for the era of “fake news” in which we supposedly find ourselves – for, “fake news” is, more often than not, just factual reporting that people on one end of the political spectrum ve-hemently disagree with, no matter how much evidence they’re confronted with.

Now, the term “fake news” may be inaccurate, but that doesn’t mean that journalism in the digital age, particularly on digital-only platforms, hasn’t been without its shortcomings.

More and more, we’re seeing activism and political commen-tary masquerading as genuine news, and news coverage that is

filtered through a political lens. And, in an effort to keep readers engaged 24/7, some media outlets fo-cus more on getting the scoop, than they do on in-depth investigation and telling the whole story.

This is why, during National Newspaper Week, Canadians should take a moment to reflect on why community newspapers matter #NowMoreThanEv-er.

Weeklies like the Shellbrook Chronicle and the Spiritwood Herald may never be the first to get the scoop on stories with major provincial, national, or global implications. But we will always endeavour to delve deep, tell those stories right, and capture their local relevance.

On the local level, community newspapers play an invaluable, irreplaceable role as archivers of their

communities’ histories, recording everything from births, wed-dings, and deaths, to that small fundraiser supporting an im-portant local cause, to the highlights of town council meetings.

In telling these stories, too, we understand that each of them has its own heart, that an event is not just something that hap-pens, but something with deep significance to at least part of the community.

Without a newspaper, a community has no means of preserv-ing these important stories and events aside from social media, which, in rural Saskatchewan, doesn’t see widespread usage like it does in more urban markets.

Without a newspaper, a community has fewer means to be-come informed about the local, provincial, and national affairs that could seriously impact their lives – here, too, social media and digital-only platforms just don’t cut it.

And yet, there are some out there who declare that the age of the newspaper is over, and who are untroubled by the closure of community newspapers like the Moose Jaw Times-Herald, The South-Central Star in Radville and Coronach, and the Oxbow-Carnduff Herald Gazette in recent years.

Some even seem to be celebrating, including a certain digital-only news outlet from Prince Albert that runs a cheerful radio spot about classified ads, imploring listeners not to visit the of-fice of their local newspaper when they can advertise online for free.

This is why, #NowMoreThanEver, community newspapers need their communities to stand behind them, and declare un-equivocally to those in power that their newspapers matter to them.

During National Newspaper Week, we hope you will pledge your support at www.newspapersmatter.ca.

In digital age, newspapers matter more than ever

Pro-residential school ad a sad affair It’s irritating that

politicians or third-party groups think peo-ple can be easily ma-nipulated.

About the only thing as irritating is there will always be a few people – no matter where they live – who will let themselves be manipulated by hear-ing only what they want to hear.

These thoughts cross one’s mind in the wake of the controversy over the Winnipeg-based Frontier Centre for Public Policy’s short-lived paid advertise-ments on rural radio stations on the “myth” that Indian residential schools were a bad ex-perience for every stu-dent that attended.

Most of you will quickly recognize the two-part nature of this one-sided assessment.

Obviously, not every First Nation person

that went through resi-dential schools was af-fected in the same way. Some will acknowledge they did get a quality education.

One might venture as far in assessing the ads to say that because the residential school expe-rience was limited to a smaller per cent of the First Nation popula-tion, it can’t be solely attributed to every is-sue experienced by First Nations people today.

But what right does anyone have calling their devastating im-pact a “myth”?

The fact is that there were substantial ex-amples of physical and sexual abuse – among the worst, occurred in this province involv-ing Anglican Gordon Reserve School direc-tor William Penniston Starr, who was crimi-nally convicted of vile

acts.There is simply no

question that this sin-gle individual had a profound impact on not only his victims but also the entire Gordon First Nations popula-tion have dealt with pain and hurt in their community for genera-tions. In turn, this ac-tually defined relations between the First Na-tion and nearby com-munity of Punnichy for decades.

Obviously, not all residential school faced

such specific sexual abuses, but plenty of them faced physical abuse at the hands of supposed religious teachers. This also had a profound effect on them, their relationship with the white com-munity and their long-term ability to success-fully parent.

It is a fact, verified by their graves, that many hundreds of these chil-dren died in the care of schools. It is also a fact that they were de-nied their religion and culture and even the right to speak their languages. Against their will and the will of their families, they were removed from their homes for long stretches.

It is a fact that some of these children died while trying to get home to see their families and that families and oth-ers on reserves would

try and hide these chil-dren.

One can chalk it up to the values and norms of the day, but that does not excuse the problems passed on from genera-tion to generation. Nor does it make the long-term repercussions any less lasting.

So for the Frontier Centre to ask whether Canadians are “be-ing told the whole truth about residential schools” begs the ques-tion: Was the right-wing think tank choos-ing to tell the whole story?

One can only specu-late as to why it would choose to do so.

The advertisement was said to be a promo-tion for an article on that website entitled “Myth versus Evidence: Your Choice”. The piece was authored by Mark DeWolf, who says he was a non-Indigenous

residential school stu-dent.

After the controversy erupted, the article was removed from the Fron-tier Centre website.

Well-known radio voice Roger Currie, who voiced the two-minute-long advertise-ment, denounced the content, saying it “cer-tainly doesn’t represent my views.” And the ra-dio station chain pulled ads.

But, again, why was this notion being pro-moted in the first place?

That they seemed specifically aimed at a rural audience strongly suggests they were de-signed to promote this view at a time of con-siderable racial tension in rural Saskatchewan.

The ads likely didn’t work on most people.

But it’s sad the Fron-tier Centre would try… and that maybe it did work on a few people.

YOUR TWO CENTS~For too long, our federal Liberal government

has hidden the ugly fact of deeply inadequate aid funding behind sunny ways rhetoric, preferring parade snapshots of the PM instead of real chang-es from the ugly parsimony of the earlier admin-istration.

Just recently, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) publicly lambasted this government for having the worst assistance contribution of most developed na-tions. Indeed, despite Canada’s healthy economy, Ottawa’s aid budget is less than half of what was

promised years ago. But it doesn’t have to be this way: the Global Fi-

nancing Facility (GFF) was launched in 2015 with the goal of ending preventable maternal, new-born, and child deaths by 2030. It has proven a huge success in several developing countries, and is due for replenishment.

Canada can truly “be back” on the world stage in a meaningful way by contributing significant new money to the replenishment of this critical fund.

One woman is dead following a single vehicle rollover on the Mistawasis First Nation on Saturday, Sept. 28.

According to a release issued by the Shellbrook RCMP, the accident hap-pened around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday evening.

Officers from the Shellbrook detach-ment, the Spiritwood and the North District Relief Unit, along with the Leask Fire Department, and EMS from Spiritwood and Blaine Lake were dis-

patched to the scene of the accident, where the woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was declared dead.

Meanwhile, the driver of the vehicle, an adult male, and two other occupants, both adult females, were taken to hospi-tal with undetermined injuries.

Police say the initial investigation has determined that the vehicle was travel-ling northbound on a grid road, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and it left the road, rolling multiple times.

As of Monday afternoon, Shellbrook RCMP detach-ment Sgt. Kent Ashworth confirmed that the driver of the vehicle remained in hospital, while the other two occupants had been released.

Ashworth also stated that the investigation re-mained ongoing, and that police are waiting on the results of the traffic re-construction preliminary report before they can de-termine whether charges will be laid, either under the criminal code, or the Traffic Safety Act.

Ashworth added that there's currently no time-frame on the report, as the unit responsible for it "has been extremely busy these last few weeks."

Students raise $700 with annual Terry Fox RunWith blustery and

downright miserable con-ditions to contend with, students from Shellbrook Elementary School and W.P. Sandin Public High School still found ways to have fun, and honour a Canadian hero, when they united for their annual Terry Fox Walk/Run on Thursday, Sept. 27.

Parading around town with an RCMP escort, the

students helped to hon-our Fox’s legacy, and his courageous battle against cancer. More importantly, they also helped raise vi-tal funds for The Terry Fox Foundation, which helps support cancer re-search.

This year, the students and the community were able to make a sizeable donation to the cause, as they raised $700 through

proceeds donated, and also through an annual barbecue hosted by the high school’s Student Leadership Council (SLC).

W.P. Sandin teacher, Nicole Philp, says she was extremely happy with how the day went, and with the continued sup-port from the community.

“Despite the cold weath-er, it was great for our schools to once again join together in this annual event,” she said.

“The high school stu-dents really enjoyed re-living memories of when they spent their lunch hour as guests at the el-ementary school, eating with their grade part-ners.”

Terry Fox began his Cross-Canada Marathon of Hope in April of 1980, starting from St. John’s, Nfld. His initial goal was to raise $1 million, but the

early support he received from Canadians caused him to set a more opti-mistic goal of $24 million (at the time, $1 from every Canadian).

Fox was forced to quit his run outside of Thun-der Bay, Ont., and he suc-cumbed to lung cancer

nine months later. But by the following April, he had nearly reached his $24 million goal.

Apart from raising funds and awareness, Fox also inspired others, like Canadian Rick Hansen, to take up his mantle, allow-ing his legacy to live on.

Since its founding in 1988, the Terry Fox Foun-dation has raised more than $700 million for cancer research, thanks in no small part to the an-nual Terry Fox Runs held by schools like Shellbrook Elementary School and W.P Sandin High School.

Students from Shellbrook Elementary School led the procession, when both of Shellbrook’s schools participated in the Terry Fox Run.

Fear of science in ag sector makes no senseSo last week I

filled this space with thoughts on how over the centuries farmers and pet hobbyists have modified a number of species through selec-tive breeding.

While the pigeon, mentioned at some length last week, is exhibit one of that, but it extends across a wide range of animals we generally define as pets.

The dog was the first species to be domes-ticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various

behaviours, sensory ca-pabilities, and physical attributes. The result is a massively diverse range of breeds.

“The smallest known adult dog was a York-shire Terrier that stood only 6.3 cm (2.5 in) at the shoulder, 9.5 cm (3.7 in) in length along the head-and-body, and weighed only 113 grams (4.0 oz). The larg-est known dog was an English Mastiff which weighed 155.6 kg (343 lb) and was 250 cm (98 in) from the snout to the tail. The tallest dog is a Great Dane that

stands 106.7 cm (42.0 in) at the shoulder,” re-lated Wikipedia.

Certainly it is hard to fathom the St. Bernard and Chihuahua being from the same root wild wolf centuries ago.

And, you can include the whippet, sharpie and komondor to the list of breeds which look little like their cousins thanks to se-lective breeding modi-fying the base stock.

It is very much the same story when you look at the domestic cat, the tailless manx, the hairless Sphynx and the Scottish Fold with its strange ears, and the long-haired Persian are distinctly different from each other, diverging from an ancient shared an-cestry through selec-

tive breeding which has effectively modified the cat.

The same story can be told regarding rabbits, gold fish and guinea pigs.

But it extends to plants as well. Flower lovers have bred for co-lours in f lowers from orchids to gladiolas for centuries, modifying the plant from its basic form in the process.

Today the process of modification of plants in particular is being speeded along by the sciences of gene trans-fer, but is the result so

different?There is science in de-

veloping a new pigeon breed, just as there is science in an herbicide tolerant oilseed.

The question then becomes why some are suddenly fearing what science is creating to-day, while modified species exist all around us now.

It is a question the agriculture sector must answer in a way that will allow those with concerns in the pub-lic to feel secure in the modern science of GMO.

Sask Wheat optimistic about new USMCA trade dealThe Saskatchewan Wheat Develop-

ment Commission (Sask Wheat) is op-timistic about the new United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA), which will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) once it is ratified by the governments of all three countries.

“The new free-trade agreement with Mexico and the United States will allow us to build on our excellent relationship with these two key trading partners,” said Sask Wheat Chair Laura Reiter. “The agreement updates NAFTA with key amendments that require more co-operation, transparency and sharing of

resources between the three countries.”The USMCA includes a section de-

voted to grain trade. A key aspect will allow US-grown wheat delivered in Canada to be treated the same as Cana-dian-grown wheat within our grading system. In addition, the new USMCA will require the countries to reduce the use of subsidies and agricultural safe-guards for products traded between the three countries. The new agreement also addresses agricultural biotechnol-ogy, including plant breeding, and re-quires the three countries to enhance

their cooperation and exchange of in-formation on biotechnology matters related to trade.

Sask Wheat will be reviewing the wheat-related provisions in the USMCA, as more details become avail-able, to determine specific implications for Saskatchewan wheat producers.

“Once implemented, we expect the USMCA will provide more certainty to Canada’s wheat sector and will hope-fully spur growth and new opportuni-ties for Canadian producers within the United States and Mexico,” adds Reiter.

Cereals Canada welcomes new NAFTA deal

Cereals Canada welcomes the an-nouncement of a modernized North American Free Trade Agreement, which will be known as the U.S.-Mexi-co- Canada Agreement (USMCA).

“Achieving the agreement will ensure ongoing stability in agricultural trade within North America,” stated Cam Dahl, President of Cereals Canada. “Agriculture in all three countries has benefited from freer trade. Preserving these benefits was a key objective in these negotiations.”

USCMA will also modernize the agreement in critical areas, including chapters on biotechnology and new plant breeding techniques and address-ing issues of low level presence. These updates will help bring the agreement up-to-date with modern technology.

“USMCA also sets the stage for equal treatment by the Canadian grading system for farmers on both sides of the Canada / U.S. border”, noted Dahl. “Again, this is a modernization that ad-dresses issues that did not exist when the original NAFTA was drafted. The Canadian value chain supports these

changes.” Dahl further noted that “there was some concern that the ad-justments to the grading system would undermine Canada’s classification sys-tem for wheat. This is not the case as the agreement continues to allow both countries the ability to develop nation-al policy.”

Cereals Canada thanks all the Cana-dian negotiating team who have carried out this work in order to accomplish the agreement. This includes Minister Freeland and Minister MacAulay who have been engaged throughout the ne-gotiations.

A gardener’s guide to growing sproutsBy Patricia Hanbidge

As fall moves into winter, garden-ers are itching to keep that itch go-ing in spite of the weather. Usually the solution to scratching that itch is growing something that is useful....and usually edible, and looking for that wonder of growth beginning. Well, do I have a wonderful idea for you!

Let’s grow sprouts! Home-grown sprouts are a healthy addition to a salad, a sandwich or just about anything else. It is also a great way to get that gardening fix that we are beginning to crave. Growing sprouts is inexpensive, nutritious and easy. One could go so far to say that pound for pound, sprouts are perhaps the most nutritious food there is from the dollar value per-spective. Sprouts are the most con-centrated and truly natural sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids known. Better yet, they can be grown indoors in any cli-mate and are ready to eat in only a few days. These tiny, easy-to-digest plants are at their peak of nutrition-al value, as the seed releases all of its

stored nutrients in a burst of vital-ity in the journey to becoming a full sized plant.

You could look at sprouts as a powerful battery of nutrients that can rival citrus fruits in vitamin C and beef in protein and actually sur-pass almost any other known food source in completeness! Just one more positive is these squiggly little vegetables are delicious, economical and an ideal food for weight watch-ers as one fully packed cup of mung, alfalfa or radish shoots contains un-der 20 calories.

The challenge of growing sprouts is pretty low. It is easy for almost anyone who wishes to enjoy fresh and natural food year round. If you have a spot where you are living that is comfortable for you, a good source of clean water - then you will be a successful sprout grower. You just need to attend to your babies twice each day.

There are many sources for the seeds that are suitable for sprouters. For example - “seed quality” beans are better than “ food quality” beans as the seed quality will always show

a better germination rate which is important for those wanting to see sprouts grow. My favourite source for seeds to sprout has and will likely always be Mumm’s (sprout-ing.com) as they are a local business that is totally dedicated to selling a quality product at a reasonable price and have superb selection. The packing plant is located in Parkside, SK and the students of the School of Horticulture spent some time there recently learning all about the busi-ness of selling organic seeds to grow sprouts all over the world..

A basic sprouting system is simply any receptacle that is large enough to hold the finished sprouts, but not made of wood or metal. If you hap-pen to be using pottery, then it is important to use a high-fired stone-ware that will not contain toxic lead sulphate in the glaze. Containers of plastic, china, enamel, and unglazed pottery are excellent choices. How-ever, you can also purchase a little grow unit from many of our seed supply houses, including Mumm’s. Please note that if you are purchas-ing seed for sprouting from Mumm’s

then each pack-age comes with instructions for growing that type or blend of sprouts. The instruc-

tions for growing are simple. Simply find a jar or other receptacle, a bit of fine netting, a rubber band, clean fresh water and of course some seeds to germinate. If you have cho-sen to sprout in a jar you can soak the seed in the same jar. If not, any sterile container will do. Use about one cup of water to every tablespoon of seed. Soak the seeds for a short time to get that germination started and then rinse and drain your seeds two to three times daily. I like to in-vert the jar on an angle in a small bowl to allow the excess water to

drain. Last but not least, enjoy! Swirl the finished sprouts in clean water to separate the hulls and rinse the sprouts gently. Drain and allow to dry for a few hours and store in the fridge until consumed.

Dave Whalley, DLM®First United Church,

Big RiverI recently read a true story

about Cathy Rigby, who was the hope of the U.S. gymnastics team at the 1972 Munich Olym-pic Games. She had only one goal in mind – that was to excel and win a gold medal! While preparing for the games, she prayed for the strength through her routine to perform without any errors. She performed quite well, but didn’t win gold; she won bronze. Emotionally, she was defeated. She went up in the stands to meet her par-ents after the event and told them, “I’m sorry, I did my best”. Even today Cathy remembers what her mother said to her, “Doing your best is more im-portant than being the best!”

In Mark 9: 33-37, we see the disciples were slow to learn this lesson, and so are we. It seems to me that the disciples always wanted to be better than the others. Does that sound like some in our world today? For instance, in chapter 20 of Mat-thew, the mother of James and John, who was Jesus’ aunt, went to Jesus with this request. “Command that in your king-dom, these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right and one on your left.” When the other ten disciples became aware of this request, they be-came very angry.

In Mark 9, vs. 3, it is clear that each of the twelve disciples wished to be the most favoured disciple - in other words, they wanted to be the top dog, or the number one disciple in Je-sus’ eyes. A phrase I have of-ten heard used to support this is, “No one remembers after a year who came in second.” Je-sus instructs us, that coming in first, is not the most important;

doing the best that we can is the most important.

The disciples were talking and arguing who would be the greatest. When they arrived at Capernaum, Jesus asked what they had been arguing about back on the road. They became silent. What a silly argument – I am sure that we never get into silly arguments like that today, or do we? I mean, imagine that today – trying to decide who is the greatest or most impor-tant among us. I ask you, what measuring stick would we use?

Farmers – are they the most important because they pro-duce the food we eat? Or teach-ers – are they the most impor-tant because they train others in many various jobs that need to be done? Or doctors – are they the most important be-cause without them, many illnesses would be fatal. Or caretakers and gar-bage collectors – for without them we would choke and die in our own waste products? This ar-gument has no end, once it begins. Why do we have this de-sire to find out who is the most impor-tant? Why do we have to be number one?

Surely there is a different way of looking at life -- a more helpful way that avoids the ques-tion of who is the greatest? When we look at our quality of life – we are told in vs. 35 from the read-ing in Mark that we are called to a dif-ferent way of life,

where, and I quote, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

In vs. 36 Jesus took a child in his arms and said to his fol-lowers, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my be-half welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me, welcomes my father who sent me.” I have always loved that image. Teaching life lived according to the way of Christ - is a life of opening arms and welcoming people into our embrace – and showing them we care.

What is it that we want out of life? What is it that we want from God? I think most of us are looking for a better life for ourselves, our families and our world. This can only come to us when we give up the world’s

standards of success as they are measured by power, stat-utes, and money. As long as we discriminate between people – as long as we judge some more important than others - as long as we desire to be more impor-tant ourselves – as long as we envy others and have selfish ambitions – we block out what God has in store for us, and our world. God is important, and God is found in the simple things, the lowly things, in the ordinary things of life.

Jesus came to be with us - not as Lord - not as a boss – not as an important person – but as a servant. Jesus came to touch, to embrace, to heal, to forgive, to love, to help – even when he knew it would lead him to the cross. Our prayer should not be “make me someone impor-

tant”, nor should we pray for “success and wealth”. Rather, knowing that God is fully able and fully willing to give us what we need in life, our prayer should be like that of St. Fran-cis.

“Make me a channel of your peace, where there is hatred, let me bring your love; where there is injury- pardon; where there is doubt – faith; where there is darkness – light; and where there is sadness – joy.

Master, grant that I may nev-er seek so much to be consoled as to console - to be understood as to understand – to be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace for it is in pardoning that I am pardoned – in giving that I receive – and in dying that I am born to eternal life.” Amen

Stump Lake Flyers Alums host golf tournament

Submitted by Johnny Johnson

On July 7, the Stump Lake Flyers Alumni Hockey Team had a golf tournament, held a Can-wood Pines Golf Course. Lots of good fellowship and going over Mitch Al-stalt's stats from years ago proved to be very in-teresting.

The winning team was Calvin Johnson, Rock Jensen, Lloyd Bathen, and Wayde Thall (ref-

eree). Second place was John Bundgaard, Jens Bundgaard, and Mitch and Janet Alstalt, with honourable mentions to Nels Bundgaard, Glenn Nordby, John Wreford, and Johnny Johnson.

Captains were Vern Campbell and Alfred Molzan.

We have decided to have this tourney again next year, and invite other rec players from Shellbrook, Debden, and Big River.

Mike Trout: no chance to be Mr. OctoberBaseball’s best player

will be at home when the playoffs unfold this fall and Americans who only pay attention to baseball in October will once again be oblivious to the talents of Mike Trout, the centrefielder extraordinaire of the Los Angles Angels.

Trout has complet-ed seven full seasons with the Angels and he has played in the post-season only once. And it was a dismal perfor-mance for Trout and the Angels, who lost all three games to Kansas City Royals in 2014 with Trout batting .083.

Many observers felt this year might be dif-ferent for the Angels, who signed the most sought after free agent in the game, Japanese outfielder-slugger-pitch-er Shohei Ohtani. Even with Ohtani cracking 20 homers and batting in the high .290s, and post-ing a 4-2 pitching record before hurting his arm, the Angels couldn’t com-bine his talents with the immense skill of Trout to make the post-sea-son. The Angels will be lucky to finish at .500 and they were a distant fourth in the American League West most of the year.

Critics might say that not making regular ap-pearances in the post-season reflects on the value of a player, but you can’t argue with Trout’s stats. Year after year, his numbers are among

the best in baseball, and he has two Most Valu-able Player awards to his credit.

Baseball insiders say the OPS statistical cate-gory (on-base plus slug-ging percentages) shows a player’s true value and if that is so, Trout is the game’s best hitter. His late-September OPS of 1.096 led the majors and he was one of only three players with numbers above 1.000 (Mookie Betts and J.D. Marti-nez of Boston were the others, but well back). Another recently new stat is WAR (wins above replacement; in other words, how many wins a player contributes to his team above what a re-placement player would earn). Trout’s WAR of 9.4 (and career WAR of 63.5) are proof of Trout’s value.

Oh, by the way, he’s also one of the best de-fensive centerfielders in the game, and has an arm like a cannon. And he’s a top-20 base steal-er, too, with 24 through mid-September.

Add it all up – batting, throwing, chasing down fly balls, stealing bases — and it’s easy to see why the Angels are talk-ing about offering Trout a lifetime contract. It’s just too bad his team can’t make the playoffs so the rest of the world can see what southern California fans have been seeing for the past seven years.

• RJ Currie of sports-

deke.com: “Packers piv-ot Aaron Rodgers’ new contract totals $180 mil-lion with performance incentives. He’ll still play quarterback the same way, only deeper in the pockets.”

• Another one from Currie: “Rest in peace Burt Reynolds, perhaps the most famous mous-tached star in history. Unless you include those East German women shotputters.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post on Twitter: “In the NFL, there is the ‘Tom Brady Rule’: If a defender ap-pears to touch Brady af-ter he releases the ball, it is roughing the passer. In the NBA, there is the ‘James Harden Rule’: If a defender appears to de-fend Harden as he slith-ers through the lane, it is a shooting foul.”

• Chad again: “True story: I bumped into Harden the other day at the supermarket, and the security guard removed me from the store.”

• Comedy writer Jim

Barach: “Former NBA player Matt Barnes says he smoked pot before every game. Which ex-plains why his favourite move was the ‘pick and roll-your-own.’”

• Currie again: “Ex-racecar driver Danica Patrick is dating Packers quarterback Aaron Rod-gers. After years with NASCAR, this is the closest she’s been to the leader of the Pack.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Cleve-land Browns won, so Bud Light unlocked beer coolers all over town with 300 bottles of beer in them. They decided this was smarter than their other promotion: Free Whisky and Chain-saws.”

• Kaseberg again: “The Cleveland Browns won their first game in 635

days. To give you an idea how long ago what was, 635 days ago they were the Cleveland Light-Beige.”

• Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show: “North and South Korea say they want to host the 2032 Summer Olympics together. The highlight will be when the athletes try pole-vaulting from North Korea into South Korea.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times with his

Fact of the Week: “It took Tigers pitcher Den-ny McLain just 49 more days to post his 30th victory in 1968 than it took the Orioles to win their 30th this season.”

• Raiders coach Jon Gruden, to reporters, on why his team has only two sacks in two games after trading away Khalil Mack: “It’s hard to find a great pass-rusher.”

Ladies' Healthcare Auxiliary meeting highlights

Submitted by Norma DahlOur Auxiliary meeting was held

on Tuesday, Sept. 25 in the Culture Room of the nursing home. Six mem-bers were present, with two absen-tees.

There was no old business, and no sunshine report.

New business was the October par-ty at the home, and the Auxiliary will

host this, with pumpkin pie and or-ange floats.

We will also purchase a wreath for Nov. 11.

Also, tablecloths came up on the agenda again. We will try to accom-modate the home with new ones.

Meeting was adjourned, and we en-joyed an hour of visiting. The next meeting will be Thursday, Nov. 29.

TANG - HelenHelen Tang passed

away peacefully on September 22, 2018 at Whispering Pine Place, Canwood , Sask.

Helen and her iden-tical twin, Ellen, were born on February 4th, 1921, in Langham, SK to Magnus and Bella Anderson. The family moved to the Parkside District in 1932.

Helen married Mar-vin Tang in 1941. Mar-vin served in the Royal Air Force. He was sta-

tioned on Vancouver Island, BC, where the couple lived until the end of the war, before returning to Parkside.

They raised three children: Diane, Sandy and Garry.

Helen was a great hostess. Family and guests alike were met with strong coffee and great food (lefse, buns, chocolate cake, to name a few) when visiting the Tang household. If any-thing was amiss, you would hear an ‘Uff-da’ before it was righted.

Helen took much pride in being an active member in Immanuel Lutheran Church. She loved teaching Sun-day school, singing in the choir, serving as a member of the E.L.W., and making quilts for Lutheran World Relief.

In retirement, Helen enjoyed many happy days at Emma Lake, where she helped Mar-

vin tear down the old cabin and erect a new one. She also spent many happy hours dot-ing on her grandchil-dren, ensuring they had fun-filled summers.

Helen is lovingly re-membered by her chil-dren: Sandy (Cliff) Klein, Garry Tang, and son-in-law Ken Len-hart; daughter-in-law Deidre Tang, her grand-children: Jennifer Len-hart, Christie Klein (Denis Gauthier), Tyler (Jessica) Klein, Macy Richmond, Kerby Tang (Lacey Akan), Trina Tang (Dale Noble), and Troy Tang; and her great-grandchi ldren: Evan, Kourtney, Layne, Masyn, Gracie, Ellie, Keanu, and Presley.

Helen is pre-deceased by her husband Marvin, daughter Diane, and great-granddaughter Sadie; her parents Bella and Magnus Anderson, and siblings Ellen Re-

ithaug, Camilla Prosser, Mary Agrey, Alice Coates, Andrew, Alvin, Milton and Ole Ander-son. She is survived by her sister Agnes Brown of Prince Albert, SK.

She will be forever loved and missed by her family and friends.

Many thanks to the excellent caregivers at

Whispering Pine Place in Canwood.

The Funeral will be held at Immanuel Lu-theran Church in Park-side on September 28th at 2pm, with the inter-ment to follow at Park-side Cemetery.

Memorial donations in Helen’s memory may be directed to Imman-

uel Lutheran Church in Parkside. Those wish-ing to send condolences are welcome to visit w w w.beaulacfuneral-home.com Arrange-ments were entrusted to the care of Beau “Lac” Funeral Home, Donna Lovberg – Funeral Di-rector (Shellbrook 306-747-2828).

The ultimate green Halloween hacks

(NC) What colour comes to mind when you think of Halloween? If it’s a bold shade of orange, it’s time to start thinking green.

But don’t get spooked out by being an environmental champion, turn your Halloween into Hallow-green with these simple tips that will help protect our environment, one trick (or treat) at a time.

• Carry reusable bags. While trick-or-treating with your kids, be sure to trade in your plastic or paper bags for cloth and canvas versions. Reusable bags or old pillowcases are not only the ultimate candy carriers big enough to let mom and dad sneak in some candy for themselves, but are environmental-ly friendly alternatives that won’t wind up in the garbage after one use.

• Reuse costumes. Halloween cos-tumes generally end up in the trash and make their way into landfills. But there are alternatives to throwing your

child’s costume away just because it doesn’t fit or it’s time for a new look. Halloween costumes are the number one hand-me-down because they never go out of style. Give them to a friend or family member, donate them to some-one in need, or purchase one from a thrift store at a discounted rate.

• Decorate with reusable materi-als. Give your home the spook you’re looking for without the environmental scare. To limit the amount of trash end-ing up in landfills, purchase items you can use year after year over single-use items. When reusing battery-operated Halloween gadgets and décor such as a fog machine or lawn props, replace and recycle any old or damaged batteries. Call2Recycle Canada has more than 8,000 drop-off locations across the country, so take them to one near you. You can visit their website at call2re-cycle.ca and plug in your postal code to find one closest to your home or work.
